IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED OVERALLS AND JUMPER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,271, dated February 11, I879 application filed December 6, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GOTTLIEB SOHOLLIAN, of Dubuque, in the county of Dubuque and State of Iowa, have invented a new and use ful Improvement in Combined Overalls and Jumper; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The object I have in view is to produce combined overalls and jumper or jacket, which will be supported from the shoulders of the wearer, and can be adjusted to make a nice tit, and at the same time will not interfere with the free movement of the wearers arms or pull at the neck when stooping over, and will have the corners of the pockets and the back flap securely re-enforced; and my invention therein consists in the manner of supporting the back flap of the overalls in the peculiar means for connecting the suspenders with the front of the jumper; in the manner of forming the pockets at the junction of the fronts of the overalls and jumper; in the means for adj usting the back of the-overalls and jumper; and, further, in the construction and combination of the various parts of my garment, as fully hereinafter explained.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the combined overalls and jumper; Fig. 2, an elevation, with one side of the front thrown open; and Fig. 3, a rear view of the garment, with the tail of the jumper thrown up to show the back flap of the overalls and the puckering-strin gs in the back of the jumper.

Like letters denote the same parts.

The body of the jumper or jacket portion of the garment is made in two parts, connected together in the middle of the back A, termi nating at the waist in a tail, (1, which is not joined to the back of the overalls or pants. These parts extend over the shoulders, around the arm-size, to form the frontB of the jumper, and down about to the middle of the chest, and are there permanently connected with the front 0 of the overalls. The garment is opened in front, and this opening extends from the collar of the jumper down to the crotch of the overalls, the flaps being provided with suitable buttons and button-holes, as shown, for

closing the front. The front of the overalls or pants is sewed to the back of the jumper, under the arms, down to the small of the back, (the commencement of the tail (0,) and these two angles are properly re-enforced, preferably by triangularshaped pieces I), of leather. The overalls are also preferably made in two pieces, (one for each leg,) and the back D of the overalls is provided with a flap, c, buttoned at its upper corners to the sides of the overalls, and having re-enforce pieces I) at the angles of juncture with the cloth of the back D.

Heretofore, in combined overalls and jumpers made with the fronts of the entire garment in two pieces, connected at the shoulders with the back, and having a flap in the back of the pants, the back of the pants has been supported by a strap or straps buttoned to the flap, and secured to the inside of the back. WVith such construction, when the wearer stooped over, the back was drawn down, choking the wearer, and preventing a free movement of the arms. To avoid this serious objection, I attach an ordinary pair of suspenders, E, to the top of the flap 0, lead them over the shoulders; and connect their front ends to the front of the garment, on the inside. By these means the suspenders can be adjusted to draw the pants up the desired height behind, and when-the wearer leans over he is not constrained in the least.

The front ends of the suspenders are removably hooked to rings, which are connected by loops to cross-strips cl, extending on the lnside I of the front of the garment, (one partly across each side,) and secured by rivets d, which are passed through the three thicknesses of cloth, and through the re-enforce pieces I) at the corners of the pockets 0. The pockets 6 are situated at the meeting of the fronts of the overalls and jumper, the fronts of the jumper being extended down, as shown in Fig. 2, and secured to the inside of the overalls to form these pockets.

The back flap, c, of the overalls has an adjusting-strap and buckle, and the back of the jumper has an inside puckering-string, to adjust the garment to the form of the wearer and make a comfortable fit.

The garment has proper arm-sleeves F, which button at the wrists.

What I claim as my invention is 1. In combined overalls and jumper connected together at the front and having back flap, the back of the overalls supported by suspenders which pass over the shoulders and are connected to the front of the jumper, substantially as described. v

2. The strips (1 on the inside of the front of the umper, in combination with the suspenders, substantially as described and shown.

3. 1n the combined overalls and jumper, the fronts 'of the jumper and overalls connected together over the chest, and the pockets 0, constructed and arranged substantially as described and shown.

4. In combined overalls and jumper connected at the front, and having tail to and flap 0 at the back, the strap and buckle on the a, back flap c, and the suspenders E, connected at the back flap, and to strips 01 on the inside of the front of the jumper, the parts bein g combined and arranged substantially as described and shown.

This specification signed and witnessed this 25th day of November, 1878.
